RESUMO

Objective: The aim of this study was to detect the effect of the rosuvastatin on plasmatic lipids, lipidic peroxidation, tis sueI cholesterol, and endothelium disfunction and to compare its effect with the atorvastatin in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Methods: Forty male New Zealand white rabbits were randomized in Four Groups: Group Hypercholesterolemic (GH), Group No Hypercholesterolemic (GN), Group Atorvastatin (GA) and Group Rosuvastatin (GR). (N=lO). AlI the animaIs were fed with diet supplemented with fat of coconut 10% and cholesterol 0.5% w/w per 45 days. After 15 days samples of blood were removed from the groups through venous punction for total plasmatic cholesterol determination. Then the rosuvastatin was managed by gavage, in the dose of 2,5mg and Atorvastatin in the dose of 10mg per day to each animal of Groups GR. and GA. In the end of the experiment, new samples of blood were renioved for determination of the cholesterol and isolation pf LDL. The animals were sacrificed by displacement of the cervical column. Medium Toracotomia was carried out and the aorta was removed for ring preparation for study of the endothelium function, measured of tissue cholesterol, MDA in the walI of aorta and LDLs. The results were compared by not-parametric statistical methods. Results: When analyzing the results of this work, a reduction in the CT levels can be observed, of 44,1 % and 66%, TG 53.16%, 23.11%, LDL 53% and of, 40.68%, and an increase of 17,23%, 36.98% of HDL, 33.09%, 22.37% in the endothelium function respectively for the compared GA and GR. with the GH. Conclusion: The results have sh6wn that rosuvastatin and atorvastatin were equivalent in reducing the susceptibilities of LDL to suffer peroxidation, in decreasing the tecidual cholesterol and improving the endothelium function
